EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: COmrade f. s.

some member of his regiment would write a
sketch of its services. lt was organized and
mustered April %, 1861, under Col. (afterward
GeneraD Dumont; landed at Grafton, Va. June

The regiment was reorgauiZed for three
years service at indianapolis Sept. Is, 1861 ;
moved on the night of Sept IA and Joined Gen.
REYNOLDS at Cheat Mountain. Oct. 5, 1861, it
was engaged at Green Briar, and late in No
vember was ordered to join Gen. Kelly at Rom

THE NATIONAL ENcAnrpMENr.

AT this date everything looks very en-
couraging for the 21st National Encampment
OF st. Louis. 1t is believed that not less
than 100000 comrades will attend, and many
Departments will be present almost en-
masse.
The committees in ST. Louis are hard at
work making preparations TO entertain the
visitors in the best style. The Finance
Committee thinks that it will be able to raise
100000 for this purpose
The Secretary of War will be asked to
loan large number of tents to aid in pro-
viding accommodations, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission will be solicited to
relax the rules so as to allow special rates to
be given from all points to visiting COM
rades.

THE 9Th WIS. EAGLE.
The Facts Which Explode COmrade JOnes's Low,
Story.

The Facts Which Explode COmrade JOnes's Love
story.
EDITOR NATIONAL. TRIBUNE: The cOmmu-
nicatiOn of Joseph Jones. Co. G, 11th Mo-, in
regard to "Old Abe" the eagle carried through
the war by the 9th Wis, was partly true and
partly imaginary. 1t is true that the Eagle
Brigade was composed as he says, that it was
commanded by the gallant Gen. Joe Mower,
and participated in many battles. But Com
rade Jones got things slightly mixed in con-
Meeting the eagle with his little love story.
The truth is that the eagle was brought into
Camp Randall at Madison, Wis, in 1861. by Co.
@, of the 6th Wis, Capt. Perkins. The latter
was as brave and gallant gentleman as ever
wore a sword. He was killed in the battle Of
Pennington, Miss May 9, 1862 The eagle was
bought from an Indian in Eau Claire County,
Wis, when an eaget of months Old and pre-
sented to Co. Q. It was nearly fell grown whea
the regiment went to the front in October, 1861,
and was carried on perch near the eolOrs in all
the marches, skirmisheS and battles in which
the regiment engaged, until the Summer of
1864, when it went to Madison with the regi-
ment on veteran furlOugh and did not re-enlist,
but was left at the State e-hOuse, where house
was built for it and wounded veteran engaged
to take care of it. The noble bird Of freedom
lived for eight or ten years, and then died from
the effects of cold.
The history of the Eagle Brigade has never
been written. 1t should be, aud suggest
that Gen. Hubbard, ex- Governor of Minnesota,
who was last Brigade Commander, whom every
soldier respected and loved, undertake the
task.-J. III. GREENE, Captain, Co. +, 5th Wis,

ADVANTAGES OF DRILLING.

The Sons Of Veterans need not regret the
time given to drill and organization, even
though there is never the slightest occasion
for their military services.
A good course Of drill is valuable train
ing for any man. There is no better system
of gymnastics than Upton's tactics, and a
thorough education in them will improve
any young mans physique, his personal ap-
pearance, and his strength and activity much
more than will compensate for all the trou-
ble of the training.
Not the least valuable feature Of course
Of military discipline is the education in the
art and value Of organization. We have now
got so big as a people that organization is
necessary in all pursuits of life. The indi-
yidual man, standing and working alone,
counts for comparatively little. He accom-
plishes best results when combined with
others. Whether we sweep streets or cut
timber; whether we pick cotton, hoe corn
make horseshoes, sell goods or transport
freight, we can do il best by combining men
into masses and performing the work on a
grand scale. This system cooperating is 60
ing to develop even more rapidly in the
future than this generation has seen it de-
yelop, and it is going to ramify so as to in.
clude every branch of industry. The young
man entering life must recognize this fact
and prepare himself for it. If he hopes to
succeed either in large ora small way ht
ganized, and get all the benefits Of the sys,
TEN.
There can be no better way TO fit himself
for this than by a strenuous course of mill
tary training. This will teach him most
effectively how TO make himself an efficient
and valuable unit in any organization, and
how to handle other organized units to &C.
complish the best results. He will Learn
how TO command others and be commanded
himself 1t is almost inevitable that what
ever business he goes into that for time al
least he will be under the control of Other
men, and then will have charge of men him
self In a general way he cannot hope fol
any considerable success in life without
knowing how TO manage considerable bodies
of men TO advantage. The best school Il
develop this talent is q well-disciplineC
military company.

The Conederates had gained the battles OF oius,ee.
Sabine Cross Roads. the Wilderness, Bermuda Hun
dred. Spoitsylvania New Market, Cold Harbor, and
Monocacy; had defeated the expeditions into
Florida and the Red River country. the two at
tacl1s upon Petersburg. and against Fort
Fisher, and yet held Grant at bay before Richmond.
They had, however, lost ground on every side.
OF the States east Of the Mississippi, only North
and South Carolina were fully retained. Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Tennessee. Virginia, Georgia and
Florida overrun by the Union armies The
Federals had gained the battles OF Pleasant Hill.
Resaca Dallas. Kenesaw, Atlanta, Winchester.
Fishers Hill, Cedar Creek and Nashville They
had captured Fort de Russy. the forts in Mobile
Harbor. and Fort MeAlister. and had taken Atlanta
and Savannah. Sherman had swept across Geor-
gia; Sheridan had devastated the Shenandoah
driving its defenders before him. Thomas had an
initiated Hoods army; Grant held Lee firmly
grasped at Richmond, and the navy swept the
entire coRst.
According TO our views, it is incorrect in
some particulars. 1t states the situation
too strongly for the rebels, and too mildly
for the Union. For example, it is not true
at all TO say that the Confederates had
gained the battles of the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania.
In purely technical sense the Wilderness
and Spottsylyania were drawn battles.
Neither side gained a victory or secured the
material advantages of superiority on the
field. Considered, however, with respect to
what are called the ulterior objects of the
campaign" they were Union successes. Gen.
Grants objective was Lees army; his plan
was TO fight it on as nearly equal terms as
he could, as near as possible TO his own base
of supplies, and as far away as possible from
that of the rebels, and TO exhaust its fighting
capacity. Everything now shows this to
have been the only sound policy. While
the battles from the Sd TO the 10Th of MAY
did not result in all that Grant had hoped
for, they were still more disappointing tc
Lee, and they contributed enormously TO the
final overthrow of the latter The UnioI
army lost terribly, but it inflicted frightfu
damage upon its adversary, and every blow
il struck made the end more certain ani
nearer. That the actual number lost by tn,
Army Of the Potomac was greater than tha
of the Army Of Northern Virginia does no
contradict this statement. The aggressive
army must always expect to lose much nor
heavily than the defensive one. The rebe
army was held by the throat, with q bulldo
grip, and in spite of its savage resistance wa
beaten 10 death.
If Grants failure so overwhelm and crusl
Lee at the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Mort
Anne and elsewhere are to be counted q
: defeats, then Lees failures TO shake of O
cripple the antagonist who was throttlin
him, were equally defeats
